Question
How to construct Finite Automation?
Hey There,
The phrase you put in the question is misspelled. You will have better luck searching for "finite automaton" (notice it's "ton", not "tion"), or "finite automata".
A Finite Automaton is also known as a "finite state machine".
To construct one, you need to decide (or define) what all of the states of your system are. For example, if you have a stoplight, the states are "red", "green", and "yellow" (if you live in the U.S.). So, you create a diagram with three circles -- one for each state.
You then draw a line for each path between those states. For example, you will draw a path from red to green, a path from green to yellow, and a path from yellow to red. There will be no path for red to yellow or green to red.
See the following wikipedia link for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine
